buildFragment() - utility function within jQuery, used to take a string argument (assumed to be a HTML fragment) and create an actual document fragment from it
it caches the fragment results for small strings for performance reasons
ohhhhh, the switch room link got a lot smaller and half of it replaced with a leave link
Was there feedback that the leave room needed to more easily accessible? I'd think it would be a less-used feature. Switch rooms is the big one and making that link smaller just makes it harder to click
@balpha, @marc is there a meta question or a chat transcript regarding the leave/switch links? i'd be curious to read that before posting about wanting to go back to what got removed...
In the current version of chat, the last message feature on the room popup hides switch room link. This is frustrating b/c I have to go out of the room to get to my other room, instead of simply switching.
> Why don't you guys just use IRC, man? -- We're trying to build a system better and easier to use than IRC, that is native to modern web browsers. Will we support XMPP? We're not sure yet. In the meantime, there is a nascent community project to create an IRC interface to our chat.
@balpha vertical space collapses better, I guess that's my only point. I am not complaining though, this is the greatest web chat app I've ever seen !!
